The scallop has an incredibly strong muscle that keeps its shell
closed. It also uses this muscle to swim, rapidly opening and closing
its shell. When the shell closes, it propels water at great force by
means of the velum, which is a fold of the mantle used to direct the
flow of water around the hinge. The scallop can sharply change its
direction by adjusting its velum.
